Opening Day

I posted a link to a commercial for the 2012 opening day, the excitement that surrounds the day is beyond all other sports. It is the beginning of a 162 game grind to the top. It is where teams will find out how the compete, see how rookies will step up where needed. It is a huge day in the game of baseball the media and sports broadcasters that cover opening day and the first week of baseball.

Still even with the publicity some sports analyses argue that opening day is not what it used to be. This year the first major league game was held in Japan, but after that there was a solid week long period where no games were played and the excitement seemed to kind of build then die then build again.

They amount of talk that surrounds opening day has seemingly not been as high of a topic as past opening days. Maybe it is because of all the other sports still being played and headline news in those sports. For example on my twitter I really did not see to many of my friends tweeting about opening day or about if they are excited.
